The methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris has gained increasing attention as a host for fast and convenient expression of laccases under the control of the strong and methanol-inducible AOX1 promoter.

With filamentous fungi, such as Aspergillus niger, larger amounts of recombinant laccase can be produced, although the handling of the expression system is tedious in comparison with P. pastoris. Laccase cDNAs from the white-rot fungus Trametes versicolor were inserted between the glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (gpd) promoter and the glucoamylase (glaA) terminator and used for transformation of A. niger. The recombinant laccase was purified to homogeneity and its properties were compared with those of native T. versicolor laccase.enLaccasesPichia pastorisHeterogous expressionArticleBohlin, C., Jonsson, L., Roth, R.
